So much so that recently while chatting with a well known director, Aanaahad was taken aback when the "Director said its time now for you to shift to Mumbai from Pakistan!" Aanaahad was completely shocked, as he very much belongs to India and for that matter in Mumbai...
Post Lahore, Aanaahad won Best Actor Award at Salento International Film Festival 2009 in Italy, Tenerife International Film Festival 2009 in UK.Aanaahad's up next is an untitled film to be directed Sanjay Puran Singh Chauahan.
